Ingredients

1 cup raw pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
1 cup raw sunflower seeds (unsalted, not in shells)
1 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
1 cup sliced almonds (unsalted)
2 cups chopped pecans (unsalted)
20 pitted dates (chopped finely)
1/3 cup coconut oil
2 teaspoons cinnamon
3 teaspoons vanilla
dash of salt* (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
Melt the coconut oil and pour it in a small bowl. Add the cinnamon, vanilla and salt (if none of the nuts are salted, I recommend a dash of salt). Stir well.
Pour the oil mixture over the dry mixture and stir to combine and evenly coat.
Spread the granola on a baking sheet* and bake for 20 minutes. Stir, then bake an additional 5 minutes.
Allow the granola to cool completely, then store it in an airtight container.
This recipe makes about 7 cups of granola.

Notes

*If any of the nuts or seeds you buy are salted, you will not want to add additional salt. Add salt to taste if the ingredients are unsalted.
